Afraid of Congressmen

From the Houston Post tDem.l
1t IS said that two-tnirds of the permanent
residents OF Washington carry pistols in their
haunch pockets. The pistols are toted around
only when Congress is in session. After the
legislators have gone home the citizens
breathe with greater freedom and put their
shooting irons away in the pantry.

From the Pan Mall Gdseae.
There is a very modest man in the French
ChamOer whose services are highly appre-
Grated by honorable deputies accustomed to
mount the tribune, He is famillarly called
Celestin, but his full name is Celestin Nicole.
Celestin has task to perform. and he does 1t
consclentlously. That duty is To supply re-
freshments to the speakers, An honorable
member no sooner ascends the sacred steps OF
the rostrum than Celestin appears bearing on
silver plate glass full of liquid sometimes

OF their harangues with little sugared

Bishop Freppel, however, is an execution:
he cools his araor with a glass of French
beer. Another exception in the fiery school
of orators is NJ. Paul de Cassignac, who mixes
a few drops OF eau de melIsse with his water.
Coffee and water is also beverage much
used by speaking deputies. Among those who
patronlze 1t are NJ. Floquet, President of the
Chamber; III. Goblet, the present Prime Min

Congressman Brady, of Virginia, thus
unbosoms himself to correspondent of
the New York Tribune: 1.-The great
need Of the South is, of course, cap ital to
develop her natural resources. great
deal Of capital has gone there from the
North, and great deal has been accu-
mulsted there by the system of reprisals
on the Northern people, the amount OF
which, If it could be ascertained, would
swell to millions. The average Southern
man has no conscience whatever in his
dealings with anybody from the North.
Ii he can in any way get the best of a
Northern man, he considers it as simply
securing restitution Of the losses of the
war;" 1t would seem that Congressman
Brady's greatest need is the ability to
stick to the facts. There are many
Northern men living in the South, and
their experience is fiat contradiction OF
his remarkable misstatements, The truth
is, Northern men are welcome in the
South not be cause Southern men wish to
prey upon them, but because the South is
glad to have the aid of thrifty, energetic
class in developing her resources. Mr..
Brady seems to forget thatit is impossible
to get the best of the shrewd Yankee,
much less to prey upon him.

from one Senator to another asking each
whether he was married, and II so
whether his wife had accompanied him TO

is said that the Senator's alarm was due
TO the fear that syndicate had been

and the general impression seemed to be
that Mcdonald was going to win, although
Killen made a much better appearance,
and weighed about twenty-seven pounds
more han the Montana man. Killen
weighs 1875 pounds, while Mcdonald only
weighs 16S. The gloves used were the regu-
lation foul ounce gloves, and as tire men
donned these and shook hands, the audi
ence saw that business and no hippodrome
was meant. The fighting was opened by

managed to get in a terrific p cut un.

and off his feet. Mcdonald staggered and
fell, but soon rose to his feet and began
sparring, but before he could regain his
senses he received a, vicious shoulder hit
in the neck from Killen, which knocked him
out completely. Here the fight was 81 opp.d
by the police. The time from the start to
the finish was about one minute. Killen
will receive rs per cent. and Mcdonald rs
per cent. OF the gate receipts. It is expected
they will meet again at an early date.

HANGING WOMEN,

The shocking fa,e of Mrs. Druse, says the
New York Star, has borne good fruit. She
was the sacrifice hat will spare the lives
OF many wretched women goaded like her
into deeds OF violence.
The young Italian woman, Cignarale. has
been allowed to plead guilty to murder in
the second degree after the case for the
prosecution was opened. The procedure
is said to be without precedent in criminal
practice. The District Attorney in accept
ing the plea referred to the case of Mrs.
Druse, and inferentially yielded to the
force Of public opinion which her execution
had created.
And we'll he might. The cases are pre-
cisely analogous. But the public opinion?
Alb! that came like a whirlwind after the
last shrek on the scaffold. The Star stood
alone OF all New York papers and pleaded
ior that Not because she was
good or pure or innocent or repentant or
friendless or even profitable to us as a SEN
sation, but berause she was brought SO low
by the brute whom she murdered.
Now. metropolitan opinion, as properly
represented by our alert and observant
District Attorney, has swung around.
Don't for heavens sake" it says, give
us any more horrore. They've had a
hanging up in Herkimer. wherever that is,
just as they've had the circus and raree
show; but don't choke poor frail creature
to death under our noses"
Oh, no! There's no fear OF that low. 1t
to hang another woman in this State. 1t
will take many a Legislature and many a
Governor to convince the people that

some OF the Governments OF Europe will

We will sell to them all. France is sending
